- 1981 Bayliner 3270
Hello wise and all-knowing forum..
I've just discovered the console switch which controls the macerator pump on my Bayliner 3270 is wired into the negative lead.
It seems to work fine. I guess it completes the circuit, but probably not the way it should be.
Based on the look of the switch and the way it's mounted I'd say it's not 'factory'.. a previous owner has added it.
Interestingly, the wires to-and-from the switch are red. But the one which 'feeds' the switch comes directly off the negative buss post on the nearby fuse panel. One red wire surrounded by black wires..
Has anyone ever encountered this? Thanks for your input!
